It does seem though that both me and my husband have been making others feel insulted while trying to prove an initial point.
The point wasn't the realism, lore, or trying to say miqo'te are all sluts! I plan to play a tribal miqo'te trying to adapt to city life. I've had to take a lot more into account than just how they make babies. I've seen other miqo'te culture threads turn into miqo'te breeding threads cause it's the most fascinating to the majority I guess. Mostly it occurs in skype chat with these discussions. It seems to be the main focus of their culture. It also has been mapped clear enough by SE, there's little need for that kind of detail unless that is the main focus of what you want to play. Not saying it's good or bad, just saying it looks bad and perpetuates that bad stigma on anthro style RP and the people who play them.
The point we've wanted to make here is that it feels as if all this community cares about is breeding. You bring up anything else given by SE and backed with RL facts just like she did and it's shot down as boring, moddish, and well now "Unreasonable".
Here are some things I've had to consider when making Rhynka and trying to tune the story of her origins.
-The miqo'te have a language all their own unable to be spoken by anyone outside of their race. Hence she speaks with an accent.
-When the miqo'te came to Eorzea they found Eorzea had 26 letters in their alphabet coinciding with the 26 tribes. They felt it was destiny to be part of Eorzea then.
-Rhynka wasn't born in her clan, she was brought there by a mother that died shortly after. She had no bloodline connection so yes, it made her quite coveted to remain to prevent inbreeding.
-Interesting tidbit about Razamir's past is that his mother did beg for his life when the new nunh took over because he had off colored eyes which is a sign of greatness in an individual to the seekers. A superstitious seeker mom would be proud and see him as a hero to be of sorts if you catch my drift.
-Razamir had to challenge the current nunh because he wanted to take Rhynka when he left and her being new blood to the tribe wasn't going to fly at all with the current nunh. He almost died in this encounter.
-Rhynka and Razamir are by no means monogamous, but sex and love are two seperate things. They love each other but that means nothing when it comes sex with others. She does save her womb to bear his children only, which is strictly a cultural choice.
Have I taken into consideration the so called 'breeding strategies'? Yes, I have very much so, but it was easy enough to do with elementary level education on lions, and the stuff SE posted about the miqo'te as well as bits found in NPC texts during 1.0.
I don't feel the need to sit and focus hard on this one aspect as it wasn't that complicated. Things that are such as the result of selective reproduction I have had to think more on and my results will most likely be shot down in favor of more 'popular' lore I suppose.
The only point we've tried to make here is people are glorifying and making important something that's only a small aspect of miqo'te culture, and when other ideas are brought forth they're shot down cause they're not as appealing. The responses we've gotten are proof enough, so carry on an pick apart what I've said I won't be posting in this thread again.
